The 6-1, 190-pound Paris is originally from New Orleans, but left the city after Hurricane Katrina.

He is the No. 2 safety and a 5-star prospect behind Quin Blanding, who is expected to announce his college choice Wednesday from a list of 10 finalists.

“It’s always felt like home,” Paris said of LSU. “It’s an amazing life and an amazing fan base. I want to the Alabama game and that was a game they lost. Even after the game the fans were still in the stands and still there for the players and coaches. I like how they are with the team through thick and think. I like that a lot about that place. It’s real special.”

LSU has six commitments for 2014 and Paris is the second safety to commit to the Tigers, joining Devin Voorhies from Woodville, Miss.
